Stone me! 1730 in a day?
I know the Kremlin only ever cares about Moscow, Petersburg and, possibly, Kazan.
But, but...
The peasants are sharpening their pitchforks.

Meanwhile, daddy Kushner, the US ambassador in Paris (!), is quietly interfering in France's domestic affairs. The Benighted States is a tragic geopolitical joke. The days of European wishful thinking should long be over.

Lethality: ugly and stupid word; unserious concept.

This Londoner appreciates listening on his daily walks to the podcasts (amongst others) of a enlightening chap who helps to re-establish his declining faith in American decency.

Long-suffering Ukraine's endless sacrifice is a chance in a lifetime for sadly complacent Europe to finally rid itself of the perniciously-evil empire and move on to greater matters.
Brave, heroic Ukraine's sacrifice should not be squandered.
Ukrainians are paying a huge cost for our heedlessness.

So king's Charles' good state.
I am sadly political with everything I consider.
So I am reminded of the monstrous white coup of 1898 in a state north of yours.
And that an enlightened and intelligent public entertainer was born and bred there.
It's a fine gate.

Much respect and sympathy for decent, self-aware Americans, of which there are many, wanting nothing but the best for their fellow-citizens, ukrainians and the world.
To be honest, regarding achieving decency, Americans have recently been a bit disappointing.
Please get a grip chaps.
No disrespect.

Meanwhile, about my ballroom...
Elected not once, but twice.
This is on you America.
Your society needs some serious self-analysis.

Good grief.

In the Benighted States' dystopian economic model the only purpose of the employment and consumption cogs of the relentless capitalist machine is to maximise the profits of the insatiably greedy wealth caste.
Writing as a European centrist with a penchant for a decent free market that works for all.

The Benighted States' slow-motion geopolitical suicide is an astonishing spectacle.
It's become a deeply unserious country unfit to be the leader of the free world.
Hopefully, Europe has begun to make alternative arrangements. The time of wishful thinking is over.

The Benighted States gave the world the stunningly wasteful economic model of inbuilt obsolescence and relentlessly mindless consumerism.
Thanks for nothing chaps.
